CFZ Predictable: How the Zack Martin Holdout will end

[Captain-Crash]

LOL.

Almost never works out? So we should not extend Dak, correct?

are you crazy, who would we get to win regular season games and choke in the playoff? sheesh, rookie fans.

Not necessarily, Zac is still a pro bowl player and could be for at least another 4 years.
Jerry says this is a SB year, and next year too, so does it make sense to let Zack sit this season ??
I dont think so.

If jerry doesnt make a deal martin is happy with soon, then I have to think he doesnt really think the team is a SB contender, or he is just really stupid.

jerry has said he has to pay micah as a reason, but that is BS, he knows parsons is popular, so that is why he said that, to get fans and media
on his side, and for most part that seems to be working.

I dont know if he will, but martin should hold out into the season.

Jerry did this with Emmitt, with a team that just won a SB, that blew up in his face. So he could care less if the team is a contender or not. 30 years later different time but same stance, tells you he hasn't learned much.

Zack Martin just wants to miss Training Camp. He will start Game 1 of the season

$50,000 per day he must want to miss it, a lot.

$50,000 per day he must want to miss it, a lot.

Those fines are almost meaningless. Martin will be back about a week before the season starts, a new deal done, and just in time for preparation for opening night in NY.

 

[EPL0c0]

tonight, the OG depth/backups made made a great case for why Jerry needs to suck it up and pay Martin.

 

[Bobhaze]

A little early, but still predictable.

I’m sure there has been a big Cowboys star who held out that Jerry never caved to…I just can’t think of any.

However - there has been circumstances and situations in the past when former Cowboys Coaches, GMs, and owners faced the same dilemma.

Bobhaze: with the Zack Martin TC holdout ending, along with the resulting opinion split among the CZers on his stance (appeared to me it was 70% THUMBS DOWN on #70's action) - perhaps you and others (I can help out) to chronicle the history of player contract disputes ---BIG & small - that have been part of this franchise since it started over six decades ago.

History often repeats itself….

Jerry Jones has said repeatedly that he’s not giving in to Zack Martin’s holdout. He even said last week that he “needs extra cash to pay Micah Parsons” and has taken a “hard stance” on this. Don’t believe any of it.

Anyone remember what was happening in August of 2019? Here are some headlines in newspapers 4 years ago…almost exactly:

• ”Ezekiel Elliott could miss multiple regular season games, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says”- Wash Post, Aug. 30, 2019.
• “Jerry Jones on Zeke’s holdout: ‘It’s a marathon’“. https://heavy.com/sports/2019/08/cowboys-zeke-elliott-holdout-jerry-jones/ Aug 25, 2019.
• “Jerry Jones says he expects Ezekiel Elliott's holdout to last into the regular season, and there doesn't appear to be an end in sight”. https://www.businessinsider.com/eze...jerry-jones-cowboys-contract-extension-2019-8 Aug, 2019
• AND THEN….”Ezekiel Elliot is the highest-paid running back in the NFL”. https://www.businessinsider.com/ezekiel-elliott-highest-paid-running-backs-nfl-2019-9 Sept. 4, 2019.

I expect this pattern to be followed with Zack Martin by early September. In fact, by Sept. 4th, 2023- one week before the season opener- there will likely be a press conference to announce Zack Martin’s contract extension. He will probably be the highest paid G in pro football.

History will repeat itself.

You called it Bob!
Jerry caved!

 

[dargonking999]

But he didn't get an extension, or become the highest paid guard? So what did you call? He got a decent pay raise, and guaranteed years. Both sides got some of what they wanted.

Jerry didn't have to spend to much extra money, but didn't get the years

Martin got guaranteed years, but didn't get all the money he wanted.

Feels really more like business as usual.

Sounds like an interesting research project Motor…maybe you could do that one!
